After you file
You will need to wait to see if your return is accepted or rejected. If the return is rejected you are able to make changes to the return, fix the errors that are causing the rejection and re-file your return.
If your return is accepted then you will need to file an amended return to change your status. You should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.
Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they
are processed as two separate returns.
Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail. It can take the IRS
up to 12 weeks or longer to process them. If you are due a larger refund
than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference
and you will receive a separate check for it. If you owe money on your
amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a
check with the return. Click here for the TurboTax FAQ on amending your return:
